I voted for Japanese and I am sure it would be very evident from my Garage that I do love them for all there practicality and hassle free ownership. But if the question would have been which brand is on your wish list then my answer would surely be German.

BTW why no Indian as an option there? I am sure all those Boleros and safaris are really capable vehicles.

Please add options for Swedish and Korean. I night have voted Swedish had the option been present (as it is, I voted German). Of course it depends on how you define luxury, but arguably Korean cars like the Hyundai Genesis could be called luxury too.

I think you've not driven the European cars. Nothing beats them for driving pleasure.

Tata, Mahindra and Hyundai are major players in the Indian market. I think Indian and Korean deserve separate options in the poll. They don't deserve to be in the Others category. The British and American could have been included in this category. BTW are there any American cars available in India? The Fords here are all European models.

Classifications like American/Japanese/Korean/German are passe in this era of globalization, at least for mass-produced automobiles. Even with the monogram on, it would be utterly impossible for a majority of folks to identify what type a particular vehicle is, let alone determine who is its manufacturer. Choice is strictly for connoisseurs.

I own a chevy beat diesel. I am very much satisfied and contended. Infact the maintenance so far is normal(@ 15K Kms Oil service with ac filter change cost me Rs.2300). This car has been driven soft,hard, rough and smooth. No doubts now i have developed a trust on GM. If I go for a sedan even though i will look for toyota or honda I will certainly not miss out to try GM or ford (fiesta being one of my fav sedans)

The Japanese and Koreans make cars with Asian sensibilities. the european or AMericans make cars as per their market specifications and then try to tweak it to suite or needs.
Thus, you have small irritants like indicator/wiper stalks being on the 'wrong side', the entire dashboard being slighlty tilted towards the 'wrong side'..engines adjusted to give better mileage but in the process being awkward to drive....etc etc.
